I'm in the middle of Dragon Quest VI for the DS. Awesome remake.

Dante's Inferno for the X360 here.

Finished Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru Episode 6 yesterday. Well, I finished the main game ages ago but I read Tea Party and Ura Tea Party yesterday.

Going to start playing Project Diva 2 today, the first game was great even though I don't really like Miku nor her "voice."

I'm also playing Kanon and SHUFFLE!, but those have taken the backseat lately.

Resident Evil 5

The game is actually massively better when you have infinite ammo for your strongest weapons. It's fun to blow through, not so much fun to play cautiously.

Either Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

Civ 4 and Thief: Deadly Shadows.

Mother

Never really got into it before, but I'm loving it this time. Probably going to grab an repro cart so I can play it (again) on my NES.

But before that I really want to do a full playthrough of Dragon Warrior. I never finished it before, but if I can get through Mother I think I can finish DW.

I've got a couple of 360 games that are untouched too but I'm sure they can't compare to slow paced grindfest eight bit RPGs

I am only up to Episode 3 in Umineko no Naku Koro ni

Another thing I wish I checked out sooner..

Also playing Saya no Uta and Nier (on 360).

I've been picking up discount 360 games lately. Several things that I passed up but decided were worth it in the sub $30 range.

-Blur
-Split/Second
-Darksiders
-Dirt 2

Been playing the Lego games with my kids too.

just picked up BlazeBlue CS. it's sort of a nice change from SSFIV. I don't have to tediously link something in a matter of 1 or 2 frames anymore, not that i could accurately do that to begin with. some of the combo challenges are almost a minute long!

also been playing Pump It Up NXA and Rival Schools

Gemini Wing (PCB). It's like Mushihimesama, but from 1987.

HAHA.. this game or R-Type was the very first shmup I ever played. (Outside of Space Invaders clone)

currently playing Plants vs. zombies since it finally came to xboxlive

Sonic 4, NBA Jam, L4D2. Good times all round.

dan76 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2010, 10:31:51 AM »

About half way through Dead Space - Very good so far, the levels are a bit similar but that's the only gripe. Also, Transformers Cybertron Adventures on the Wii - one of the worst reviewed games, but I like it. Sedate pacing with the focus on accuracy. Looks like Tron.

Eternal Sonata, and yesterday I found a cheap copy of Tales of Vesperia. So, looks like I'll be busy for some time!

thestreetzking · « **Reply #17 on:** October 13, 2010, 07:12:22 PM »

Samurai Shodown, Raiden fighters Aces, and my absolute favorite, Black Tiger.

I just finished Resonance of Fate (excellent game by the way), now I'm wondering if I should go back to FFXIII or try something new (I've got Nier, Star Ocean 4 and Eternal Sonata)

Bayonetta - completely over the top mental.

fuse · « **Reply #22 on:** October 15, 2010, 12:09:56 PM »

Deadly Premonition. Easily dismissed as a budget title, but give it a couple of hours and it's got a great plot, great characters, loads of interesting gameplay elements, plenty of longevity, yadda yadda I could rant for a while. Jim Sterling's review at Destructoid, as well as being funny, is pretty accurate.

If you are open to the darkly comic / ridiculous, are not an complete A/V snob, and like good games, I cannot recommend it enough.

Magnificent isn't it. Best combat system this side of DMC too.

I'm not usually a fan of these 3rd person hack n slash em ups with 10000 different button press combos (I usually end up just furiously mashing them) - but this does seem a strange world, and story - as well as being a solid game with some epic ass boss battles.

Thumbs up from me

Edge 10/10? Nah, maybe an 8 or something, but it is fun for the money I paid (got the climax edition cheap, although I can't bring myself to care about a game soundtrack CD ever, let alone some art book).

Started 素晴らしき日々～不連続存在～ / subarashiki hibi ~furenzoku sonzai~. My vocab/kanji isn't that impressive but I'm managing ok so far, AGTH is a lifesaver since you can easily lookup unknown kanji and put them down for future. Fun and educational.

Decided to finally pick up the first Professor Layton game on DS, got a bit of catching up to do with that series, but the game seems great so far.

Started to play Batsugun (Special Version) in MAME. MY GOD it's awesome!

Been playing a lot of GBA games recently, including: Aria of Sorrow, Warioland 4, Drill Dozer , Scurge: Hive and Metroid Zero Mission.
I also rebought a copy of one of my all time favourite games for the Famicom.... Kyatto Ninden Teyandee/ Samurai Pizza Cats

I seriously don't know why, but i'm freaking addicted to that game.
